The iPod is not exactly word for anything, at least in the sense that it is not entirely an acronym.
IPod is a compound word, but that does not mean that the name has no meaning. The name is broken down into two sections, “i” and “pod”.
iPodThe “i” is a common name given to products from Apple at the time it was released on iPod – iMac, iBook, iPhoto, iTunes, etc. Some say that “i” was for “Internet” However, that does not quite seem to ring true in all cases.
“Pod”, according to some sources, it means “open database portable,” the name of the software that runs the iPod.
Did you know, however, that the name of the iPod, was inspired by the movie 2001? .
Therefore, we must go. The next time at some point he asked “what does stand for the iPod, you’ll have the answer. You will be a hit at parties or on the night of trivia.
